Finally, Got me a new job.
I have been jumping through alot of shit trying to get a job in the accounting field for some time. Just when I think something is gonna hit, someone with a bit more experiance gets the job I was in line for.
Well I finally landed a spot. It's just temp to hire for now but shit it works. Good pay, great hours with every other firday off, and some good benifits as well.

That's the company. I'm gonna keep my other PT job at night for a few nights a week and most likly now end up keeping both DSMs for a while until I figure out a few things.
I start monday though so that rocks!

Reading that made me think of dumb and dumber, "There just isn't any work in this town... unless you wanna work 40 hrs a week."

Re: Finally, Got me a new job.
What accounting classes did you take and where? Are you doing an internship or are you an accountant?

Re: Finally, Got me a new job.
Yeah, bascially the accounting experiance was QPR. Setting up a company's financials with Mike, Josh, and Jana help build a very stong base of Quickbooks and your general AP, AR, invoicing, billing, and I already have an understand of GL and the other basic pricipals. I am going back to school for my 4 year degree but as of yet have not taken any actual accounting classes. Which is where I was getting come flack from. I know what I am doing, now have a chance to prove it.
Thanks for all the good words!

That is why he was asking what classes he had taken. He is considering accounting and has taken several classes. Wondering what it takes to get your foot in the door. Sorry if he inconvinienceed you at all by having to post a reply for Alan.

No inconvinience. 
It just sounded like he didn't know he had just started school, that's all.
What it takes to get your foot in the door? Work through an agency is the best way, you have someone representing you and finding something that will fit you. |

Re: Finally, Got me a new job.
Yeah, I new he was going to start schooling so I wasn't sure how he was able to get a job in the field. I forgot about QPR. I have only taken 2 college accounting classes and am probably going to get an accounting agree myself also.

Re: Finally, Got me a new job.
James, I first tired Account Temps. Worst experiance ever. They hype yo uall up and then nothing. They just left me hanging. I am now going through Ajilon and the girl there takes most of her work through referances. I would suggest her to anyone. She had 2 jobs line up for me even before she could verify referances and have me test on some stuff. If you want PM me and I will let you know how things go with the rep Monday on site and can get you some contact info.

Re: Finally, Got me a new job.
Accounting major in school is just theories gear toward cpa....what you do in the work force (not cpa) work is different....
It is tough to get that first job in accounting...You will need to start somewhere at the botton...i.e. a/p...a/r..to advance in a big company..you will need a ba in business if you want make management...then you will need mba...if you don't have any of those...it will take allot more time to grow and get the pay...
If you are a software geru..i.e. ms access or ms excel...you will do good in the corp accounting world...Almost everything is simpler and systematic...
Temping is a good way to get the experience....also it is a good way to figure what you like and what you do not like in differ accouting jobs...also allot of temps services will not give you work if you do not know your accounting abc's...allot of times you will work as a data entry positions...and you would need to kiss some As s to get good work...
Good luck...hit me up if you need some help...I am an accountant... and is currently working for a United HealthCare...

Re: Finally, Got me a new job.
Got final offer today to be directly hired. Full offer letter pending the drug test. Definatly excited! Pretty big pay jump, wasn't expecting it but it's more than most grads make in entry level positions so I can't complain!
